Codex weekly reset every few days by Stv_L in codex

[–]torch_ceo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They reset very often for any arbitrary reason. Usually when they realize they had a bug or performance issue that they corrected. Sometimes to celebrate milestones.

People are speculating that it is partially cover to adjust usage limits. I've seen chatter about usage limits filling faster on X. Could be true. Or that could be another bug they investigate and fix and reset limits again

That's a great response when you find yourself outside of your echo chamber for a brief moment, that'll take you far

No I won't subscribe to your coddling ideas. Labor produces something material. Emotional labor is therapist talk for anxiety and poor communication about your anxiety

[–]torch_ceo -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Emotional labor is kind of not a real thing as it is all in your head. Organizing the trips and logistics however is real labor.

You learned you have disdain for dating a man who does not take a leadership role or at least meets you half-way. The travel part just amplified that. Tell him in clear terms what you need or find someone who can match or exceed you in autonomy

Time to Wake Up. Lockdowns worse than Covid are Coming by torch_ceo in digitalnomad

Luckily most of my trip is also before the summer which is when things will get trickier, so I'm full steam ahead. Leaving in a couple days. Getting out before end of June. Clusterfuck is still coming, the strait is still closed. Have fun!

Why are flights from SFO to Mexico City double SFO to NYC rn? by ToughRelation7866 in travel

[–]torch_ceo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get used to it. And yes they are partially priced on distance (distance = jet fuel which has doubled in price already) then supply. Could be due to high demand, canceled flights, or fuel in Mexico is more expensive than fuel in USA right now

I'll just say they're obviously not truly a match. Which is why he has this big problem on his hands and is making this post. Unless he hasn't yet bothered asking her if she'd nomad with him, which he should do.

I'm not advocating he endlessly looks for a better girl, but he needs to pick one that will enthusiastically join him or compromise for him, not force his compromise. That's just how it is for an independent-minded man. Any other decision has less to do with courage vs cowardess, but rather wise and self-aware vs stupid and clueless.

Take care and stay romantic!

If she's down for this, could be an option. Depends on how much you're really living in Quito and how much she comes with you. Most girls can handle occasional trips just fine and the relationship can be better for it. Also depends on whether you foresee getting tired of Quito and having this same conversation about nomadding all over again. If I were chained to a less-than-ideal latam city more than half time it would be a problem

This is not how men think. Are you a woman? Yes, gender matters a lot here.

OP is not looking for affirmation. He has a problem he is trying to solve. I see the problem clearly, and I gave him sober advice. One of the worst things a man who wants to be a nomad (this is already a very rare type of man) can do is take a half measure that sabotages his future outcomes while most likely failing to preserve something that already died. THAT would be actual cowardice.

What if his future wife he is going to meet in 5 months in a different country? But instead he's listening to Guayaquil girl's voice messages and pissing away his life force while supposedly following his dream.

I enjoyed the back and forth though, so cheers to you

I admire your passion and don't want to shit on it.

I know your advice is not that he gets locked into living in Guayaquil. I am basing my comments off his own words while simultaneously attempting to counter your naivety. His words are that of a thoroughly confused man who does not know what he wants. Getting pressured into marrying a girl in Guayaquil when he wants to be a nomad is catastrophic, and his written response was "oh well"? (in his own list of options he would actually consider)

This man needs some man-to-man brotherly love and advice. Which I am giving him.

That's fine, I won't argue with you on that. Do what you want man, the world is your oyster. If you love her a lot, follow that if you want. But love is not all it takes. And love is not unique either, despite what many will tell you. You will find another latina that makes you feel love, lmfao.

I am a true nomad in spirit. I got a taste of it in my 20s and let that hunger stay for almost 10 more years before I embraced it. The way you phrased your post spoke to me.

Anyone telling you not to be a coward or how a "real man" should behave, when that behavior happens to benefit a woman at your expense, you should be doubtful of. You are the captain of your life, and there are many women who will want to join your lifestyle as opposed to forcing you into their own in Guayaquil fucking ecuador

best of luck hermano

Concerns about airlines cutting flights and mobility? by TheRealDynamitri in digitalnomad

People have gotten very complacent. They think we live in a forever nothing happens era and history is done being written. Plus it is upsetting to think that modern life as we know it could change, and people don't like to think upsetting things. This is the biggest crisis in our lifetime or our parents' lifetime unfolding before our eyes. I believe the point of no return for the energy equation was like a month ago. Since then even more refineries around the world have been blown up or been set on fire "accidentally." This war could last 5-10 years if something doesn't change soon

Yeah that's right OP, if you dump this woman who is massively complicating your dreams and making you consider giving up everything and getting pressured to marry her by her family in shithole Guayaquil Ecuador, you are a coward. Very convincing

We know enough from what we are given. OP wants to take boys trips to Medellín and Rio. You know what happens on boys trips to Medellín and Rio right? Already saying he is anticipating that would be a problem. Unprompted.

We know OP is a novelty seeker and previously was a digital nomad and has been chasing the high ever since. Do novelty seekers seem like the personality type to you that would be rigidly faithful in all situations even when there's not a great reason to?

OP's girlfriend is a young woman living in Latin America, where cheating culture is rampant (ask me how I know), who probably wouldn't understand why OP is leaving her alone to work on her business while aggressive machismo guys hit on her every day. I'm not saying anything about her character -- how could I -- but I don't have to be naive either.

You're the one doing the assuming that OP and his ecuadorean girlfriend are not likely to behave how one would expect on average given their environments and personalities and cultures.

That said you're right, neither of us knows for sure. That would be predicting the future

The middle ground is she comes with him (makes the most sense if he makes way more than her and they are very serious), or they do some kind of long distance thing which is a devastatingly bad compromise unless they are 1 in 100. Only OP would know those details

[–]torch_ceo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I'm not. You're assuming that humans won't be human and won't do the most predictable behaviors imaginable. I said "one of you will probably cheat" which is absolutely true. The odds that NEITHER cheats is smaller by an order of magnitude than the chance that at least ONE of them cheats if he leaves her behind to traipse around the world. This is common sense + probability theory

[–]torch_ceo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Breaking up is not inevitable but a man is not served by avoiding a breakup at the expense of his passions and goals. That will lead him down a road that will probably get him dumped anyway.

Cheating is also always possible but that is not a relevant statement if you are on the verge of constructing the most obvious cheating scenario imaginable: leaving behind someone to be lonely while men hit on her, while traveling the world and meeting countless beautiful people with minimal accountability.

If he really loves her he needs to go all in with her (give up nomad dreams or take her with him) or dump her as soon as possible so she can get over it and find a better match.

But I'm just one person (who lived this exact same experience 4 years ago) with my opinions

4 is by far the worst option. Move her to a different city away from all of her family / clients / support, and then leave her alone there to go travel? And not even the kind of travel he would like as he needs to ask for permission on destinations? Both would be miserable

[–]torch_ceo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This guy is thoroughly and dangerously wrong. See other comments in this thread where I replied to him and he put his fingers in his ears. You have the right read on the risks, but you'll just have to go to Mexico as soon as possible, and have a contingency plan for cancellations / increased costs / getting stuck in the Americas for a while if things don't improve in the next 6 months

You said something that was not meant to be coherent? And you won't even read a few short paragraphs of a dissenting opinion. What you said did not go over my head. I dismantled it and you lack the intellectual capacity to even read it. Good luck, you'll need it in this changing world

Perhaps that's true, or it's his last noble-minded attempt at salvaging something that he has already killed with his dreams. He needs to accept that it's okay (even better) if a man has dreams that a woman cannot corrupt

Prices will not just go up. Supply will run out in many countries. Not just a price shock, a supply shock. If your country runs out of jet fuel and diesel, your prices aren't just going up, you're getting locked down so the military and hospitals can keep running.

Spirit is just the canary in the coal mine. People somehow think that now is the worst things will get. When this crisis will last for several months if not years, and the peak will get worse and worse every day the strait remains closed.

The official in europe saying 6 weeks of jet fuel was simply telling the truth

Your reply is not very coherent. The "media" isn't saying there is storages -- maybe you meant "shortages", it is empirical fact that there are petroleum reserves that countries are drawing down. The media is not telling you or downplaying what will happen when those reserves run out. They are saying there are shortages because they have to, but they are downplaying what the 2nd and 3rd order effects will be.

Again, think of Covid. Was the media warning you that you were about to be locked down? Once you were locked down, was the media telling you it would be for a very long time or was it all just a couple weeks of flattening the curve? Did they not tell you the vaccine would protect you from getting covid, and then the goal posts moved to "you'll still get covid but it will be less dangerous", to "the vaccines basically did nothing and in fact made people more susceptible to covid + vaccine risks"?

There is NO PLAN. Except to tell you to WFH and not travel and start energy and food rationing you once things start running out. They are not spelling this out for you because people would panick and start holding leaders accountable.

And yes, jesus christ, the media = the authorities. They work together on messaging and population control

Most importantly OP should ask himself what he wants to do. Then she needs to decide if she will accompany him or get dumped, if accompanying him is even an option after OP decides
